The Shure Beta 87C is a premium cardioid condenser handheld vocal microphone engineered for professional lead and backing vocalists in live performances, studio recording, and in-ear monitoring setups. It features a tailored frequency response for warm, natural vocals, low-frequency roll-off to reduce proximity effect, and a three-stage pop filter for minimal breath noise.
Its cardioid polar pattern provides maximum isolation with minimal off-axis coloration, while its high SPL handling ensures clear, distortion-free sound even at loud volumes.
